This author really likes Austen, and you can tell. The leading lady puts up with a lot, but spends most of her time swooning over the leading man. There was enough plot, however, to keep things interesting.

Easy, enjoyable, non-taxing read. Good for a relaxing book, and although the series continues from here, this can stand alone. ( )

A little proofreading would have got a 5 but grammatical errors, un-uniformity across the book is the reason for my 4 points. Story was really good. Would definitely read the next 2 parts. ( )

dnf @ page six. so info-dumpy and he dialogue felt fake. marked in aid of me cleaning out my kindle ✌️

This book started out interesting with a lot going on, but quickly devolved into nothing more than a Regency romance in a fantasy setting. The heroine was annoyingly passive until the very end when she suddenly decided to take matters into her own hands. If you enjoy fantasy with a healthy dose of Regency-style romance, or a Regency romance with a helping of fantasy, try it. Unfortunately, I found both fronts to be weak and am sorry to say I had to skim through half the book in the hopes that something interesting would happen soon. ( )

A very charming love story that any girl would love. The main character Reese is a smart contradiction of free spirit & insecurities of a young adult. Her male romantic counterpart is the epitome of the classic gentlemen & young love. The explanation of the different worlds were substantial enough for me to be able to believe w/o being over kill. The author gives the new world a vivid narrative. Sometimes I'm left w/ questions & w/ the feeling I'm "reading" about a fantastical place but I came away feeling that this other dimension could very well exist. This books has a sequel but it sum's up most things pretty good that I didn't feel it was a "cliffhanger" or teaser but that it was a completed book.
